We're about 20 mins from St Emilion in a small hamlet named Pujols. Nothing happens here apart from the chiming of the church clock tower. The kids and their cousins spend their days in the pool, and the adults spend their nights sampling the local wines. It's a hard life 🤣
But it's a drink to be savoured with good friends while reminiscing about past PB's and fisherman's tales, not chugged by the half-pint glass in a race to the bottom of the bottle!
Port is nice, but I can never drink it quick enough to finish the bottle before it oxidises. Ideally they need to be drunk within a few days, but I find port too heavy for more than a glass at a time.
And the wine here is excellent by the way. Found (and drank) a St Emilion Grand Cru Classe for only about £32, and in the local supermarket too. Had a tour and tasting at a local organic vineyard yesterday which lightened my wallet somewhat but should keep my wine collection well stocked for a few months.
Maintenance crew is drinking beer by the pool in France at present so there may be a delay in responding.
Besides, how often does the horizon look perfectly level on your (or any) boat. The pic just looks realistic to me 😉
Well done on getting your boat ready for the water.
Don't know that part of the coast though, so not sure where or what, but mackerel or squid will probably bag you a dogfish or two, and what more could anyone want than that? 😉
Yep, seems to have done just that. I put my team together and it appeared to auto-enrol me into the OO League for this season.
@JonC, no Cobb FC this year??
It's crap up north...
And yes, I know east coast isn't technically "oop norf" but it's still north of the SLT therefore it counts.
